THÉRIOT, Jean, came from France, according to three depositions: one from Marie-Josephe Dupuis, widow of his great-grandson Pierre Th?riot (Doc. ind., Vol. III, p. 127), and two others from the second husbands of the widows of that same Pierre's brothers Cyprien (ibid., Vol. II, p. 181) and Simon-Joseph (ibid., p. 193). None of these depositions mentions Jean Thériot's wife Perrine Rau, who is only known to Acadian genealogy through her appearance in the 1671 census (see DGFA-1, pp. 1483-1484).

Biography
(version française ci-dessus)
Jean Thériot, originally from France,[1][5][2] was born about 1601.[3]
Jean is a pioneer of Acadia. Around 1636 he married Perrine Rau. Between about 1637 and 1654 the couple had seven children: Claude, Jean, Bonaventure (dit Venture), Jeanne, Germain, Catherine, and Pierre.[4]
The family arrived in Acadia prior to 1650.[4]
Around the time of their son Pierre's birth (1654), Port-Royal was captured by Robert Sedgwick, who led 300 British soldiers and volunteers.[6]
"The [French] soldiers at Port-Royal, who numbered about 130 … put up a brief defence against Sedgwick. Setting up an ambush between the landing site of the English troops and the fort, the Frenchmen fired on the attackers but proved no match for the experienced Roundheads. The French soon "took their heels to ye Fort." On August 16 the fort surrendered... Sedgwick granted honourable terms, allowing the defenders to march out of the fort with flags flying, drums beating, and muskets at the ready. The soldiers and employees working at the fort were offered transportation back to France and given enough pelts to cover their wages."[6]
Although the commander of Port Royal left for France, most Acadians, including the Thériots remained in Acadia. They were permitted to retain their land and belongings and were guaranteed religious freedom. Dunn[6] describes life in Acadia during the 16 years of nominal British rule:
"During the years of British rule, most of the Port-Royal population moved upriver away from the town. Using the agricultural practices initiated under D'Aulnay, the Acadians dyked and cultivated extensive salt marshes along the river and raised livestock. Through necessity, residents had reached an accommodation with New England traders who had become their sole source for the goods that they could not produce themselves... New England traders exchanged their goods for Acadian produce and furs... There were seventy to eighty families in the Port Royal area in 1665."
In 1671, Acadia had been ceded to the French.[7] 70 year old Jean and 60 year old Perrine were living on a farm with 5 arpents[8] of cultivated land[9], 6 cattle, and 1 sheep. Most of their children were married, except for Pierre 16.
It is not clear where the family homestead was located. A 1707 map (after Jean's death) shows son Claude living upriver from the fort near the Bellisle marshes. Son Bonaventure was living closer to the fort downriver.[10]
Jean died before the 1686 Census[1] at Port-Royal.[4] See also Find a Grave Memorial: Jean Terriau The memorial actually has two death dates for him: 1686 and between the census of 1671 and census 1678. The memorial states he is buried at the old Garrison Cemetery, located on the grounds of Fort Anne National Historic site in Annapolis Royal Nova Scotia.

? Statistics Canada defines an arpent as 0.845 acres. According to Clark (see reference page 87), "The arpent was a basic French unit of land measurement, both linear and areal, but its size at the time is uncertain. In length, 200 feet may be a rough equivalent for an arpent in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; it was later standardized to 192 feet. An areal arpent may have been something less than an acre (the usual equivalent was .845 acres) although it has been given the equivalent of as much as an acre and a half in some twentieth century definitions."

1671 Acadian Census at Port Royal: Jean TERRIAU, 70, wife, Perrine RAU 60; Children (married): Claude 34, Jean 32, Bonaventure 30, Germain 25, Jeanne 27, Catherine 21; (not married): Pierre 16; cattle 6, sheep 1. Also this posted by Karen Theriot Reader, Rootsweb.com, Reader-22. Family # 15: Jehan TERRIAU, age 70 (soixante et dix ans) Living with wife Perrinne RAU, age 60. Their seven children (six of whom are married) are listed: Claude 34, Jehan 32, Bonaventure 30 [27 on own entry], Germain 25, Jeanne 27, Catherinne 21, and Pierre, 16 and single. [At the time, there were 68 families (295 persons) living in Port Royal, 392 [could it be 329?] persons in all of Acadia.] The family has 6 head of cattle and 1 sheep, with 5 arpents of workable land. Jehan is listed as "Laboureur" or Plowman.
CENSUS-DEATH: Neither Jean nor his wife Perrine appear on the 1678 census of Port Royal, Acadia.
CENSUS: 1686, Port Royal, Acadia, no listing for Jean. A Perrine BOURC, listed as "Mere," is living with this family's granddaughter Marguerite TERIO & her husband Claude LANDRY. [This is the Perrine BOURG, mother to Claude LANDRY. This is likely where the confusion over Jean's wife's surname began. Both Jean TERRIAU and his wife were probably deceased.]
